productivity. In a working environment, one must be able to ensure that
the worker have been provided with required safety equipment. Most
often, it is the labor in developing countries that faces the brunt of the
safety problems. At times their safety is ignored and even when safety
tools are given, they can often be obsolete. Amongst other fields, the
industrial sector is often the one that requires the most attention in this
area.
